- Funny: Graph showing quality of M. Night Shyamalan's movies over time. (But that's still a cool name.)
- Study released indicates that pain pill abuse is up 400% in the last 10 years. I agree. Big time.
- I watched ESPN's The ESPY's last night which was broadcast live for the first time. Surprisingly not bad. (And I don't know who Michelle Beadle is, but everyone was talking about this dress -- I don't get the fuss.)
- The murder/suicide of Coppell mayor and her daughter is one of the strangest stories I've ever seen. She left four typed notes primarily dealing with how to handle her affairs but with no explanations as to her actions.
- When I hear stories like that, I sometimes think that crazy actions can be explained by a defective brain that we simply don't understand. Just like machines can be defective even when made to work, can that same principle apply to people who are a million times more complicated than the most complex machine?
- DPS troopers find $2 million in a big rig in Texas but no drugs, and the driver denies knowledge of it. So the government just takes the money? Why?
- Dave Campbell's Texas Football puts Bridgeport at #16 going into the season.
- I finally got sucked in and listened to one of the Mel Gibson tapes yesterday. That boy is certifiable crazy. Or maybe the word is defective.
- My writing style is like that of Edgar Allen Poe. Find out yours here.
- "A Mesa woman greeted police officers in the nude and holding a beer after allegedly vandalizing her boyfriend's car with a dog leash, court records state." If I told you there was a book-in photo of her would you click on it?
- Golf fans could have awoken/awakened/woke up at 3:30 this morning and watched live coverage of the British Open. (Only appreciated in my brain: Remember Kevin Costner's character in Tin Cup? His name was Roy McAvoy. The leader of the British Open as I type this is a golfer named Rory McIlroy.)
- A Dallas man hired a buddy to injure him with a gunshot so he could blame it on his ex-wife and then get custody of his child. Sounds like a plan. What could possible go wrong? Story.

Don't understand anything about Michelle Beadle's dress, but then I am definitely not a fashion consultant!
By the way, she is the former UT alum who is co-host of the "SportsNation" show each day on ESPN.
Her damn dog has the best view and he's choosing to eat his dog food instead of feasting on that?
I can see most of her hairy little snoozier or somethin.
I was at the PGA Championship last August and a ton of people were mentioning the close name association between Roy and Rory. But one thing I did learn is Rory makes my inner cougar come out. He is so stinkin' cute!
Is that the new Mrs. Green? Don't mess with her untl she finishes that first cup of java.
Hey Barry,
Check out the pic of the horned man from OK under todays top stories at myfoxdfw.com
WOW! Makes me feel lucky I'm not a complete idiot.
I like Ms. Beadle's dress. It fits her good. I think the haters are just jealous :D
Bridgeport Bulls in 2010 DCTF Poll = O-V-E-R-R-A-T-E-D!
Today's chick looks like she is constipated!
I think I dated that girl.
Now that you've got hitched, does that mean you're gonna stop queueing up the crazies in the "Mrs Green #_" list? Wouldn't want the current titleholder getting complacent, right?
Besides, how can you dismiss one with great buzzwords like "greeted police nude...beer...vandalizing...dog leash"
Plus, she's sporting a shiner in the book-in photo (the black eye, not the brand of beer)

The dad that hired his buddy to shoot him makes me believe MZ is on to something when she says that stupid people shouldn't be allowed to have kids. Here's the kicker, the kid will be eligible for Social Security benefits until it turns 18. That means, you and I will be paying to raise that dipsh*t's kid.
I am confused on the pain pill abuse thing, how do people keep getting the pills to abuse? Are they robbing pharmacies, or are doctors just passing the pills out like crazy? You say that you agree with the study which makes me think through your profession you are seeing this first hand, which scares me a bit that it is that prevalent. Also, how do you tell if someone is abusing pain killers?
From the beginning to end was a good day.. My grandpa always told me a saying that kind of goes with what you said there too.... he always said "crazy is crazy and there is nothing we can do about it, and you never know when someone is going to go crazy"

"Don't talk to me, touch me or look at me until I've had my coffee!" Said the random pic girl.
I would bet money that crazy mayor didn't want to let go of her daughter since she was suppose to be moving to Austin this summer. Her husband died in 2008 and I would almost bet she's gone off the deep end. So sad and the most selfish act imaginable.
WACKO mayor!! Anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who even thinks of offing themselves and their own child/children is certified crazy! There is nothing normal about having those kinds of thoughts.... now this woman (idiot) has carried through. Wonder if there were any signs, at all, beforehand that she was contemplating this.
I work in an inner city ER and totally agree. All ages, races, income levels, abusing pain meds. In the ten years that I've worked in that hospital I've seen a huge increase in people attempting to obtain pills, mainly vicodin. Fake names, fake stories, fake injuries, all sorts of craziness going on to get that V drug.
pain pill abuse -
I watched a program recently, can't remember what channel (Current? Doc Channel?), about how a small section of south Florida is now the pill dispensing capital of the nation. They are responsible for a disproportionately high percentage of meds dispensed. People drive from the Midwest, and all over the South (in certain places these folks are called "pillbillies). Clinics get retired doctors who make ungodly amounts of money to have people tell them they have a pain (takes just a couple of minutes), then the same place dispenses the pills. Long lines form around these places, and some folks turn around and resell the pills to make a living. Several places in Houston are becoming that way, too.
Bills are being introduced to prevent the same people from prescribing and then dispensing meds.
It's probably much easier than cooking meth; and hard to prosecute the way these places are currently operating.
I have had two occasions in my life in which a doctor wrote me a script for pain medicine...after my son and daughter were born. I never took/needed it when my son was born and when my daughter was born, I might have used 4 out of the 30 pills she gave me and threw the rest away. I DON'T GET IT. While they were a little better than taking a couple of Advil. I don't understand what the big deal is about those pills.
I'm not sure what to think about the "i write like" website. I just submitted the pain pill comments I made at 11:37, and it also said EAP for me. I considered calling Bullsh**, but then I submitted the random comments I made yesterday and it said Stephen King.
Think maybe it just has a virtual rolodex of famous authors and randomly picks one?

Your running out of material Barry. You already posted this girl a while back.
"When I hear stories like that, I sometimes think that crazy actions can be explained by a defective brain that we simply don't understand. Just like machines can be defective even when made to work, can that same principle apply to people who are a million times more complicated than the most complex machine?"
ABSOLUTELY! Look at your readership! Most are obviously "defective!"
Vicodin make my erection last longer so I guess I'm an abuser.

* I think Shyamalans movies went straight down without any type of slope after Sixth Sense.
* Best pain med combo for elevated chronic pain due to old orthopedic injury or headache. 3x 200mg Ibuprofen for a total of 600mg and 1x 500mg Rapid Release Acetaminophen. Do NOT repeat. If needed take an additional 2 Ibuprofen 6hrs later. Do not use this combo if you are taking Vicodin since Vicodin contains paracetamol aka acetaminophen. I hate narcotics for the same reason I do not drink. I hate feeling addle-brained/stupid. I just do not understand people who abuse drugs/alcohol just so they can stagger around in a stupor.
Disclaimer...I am not a dr. and have never played one on television. However, this combo does work for me in controlling orthopedic pain as well as stopping, if caught early enough, migraine headaches and has been approved by my dr.
* The selfish arrogance of a parent, regardless of their personal demons, who feels justified in murdering their own child goes well beyond being merely "defective" and enters the realm of being a megalomaniac of such monumental proportions they can only be considered, by sane people, as being evil.
* Nowhere in the link does it say the DPS officers confiscated the $2. million nor is it indicated the money will not be returned to the driver of the 18-wheeler after an investigation or no one claims the money. There really is no reason the money should not be treated like any other large sum of money, of unknown origin, found by a stranger.
* Mel Gibson is just going through the "Desperate Old Arrogant Bastard" stage of his life when it has finally dawned on Gibson that he is only King Of The World in his own mind and being an old man in a world where youth and virility determine relevance is a death sentence for an aging egomaniac like Mel.
* I love how there is no reference to the black eye and swollen face of the naked, beer drinking, skinny dipping suspected car vandal.
* I did the math and the STUPID 20-yr old dead dad was 17 when he became a baby daddy. Based on how the father ended up, his 3-yr old son is better off without the moron being a part of his life. Tell me I am wrong for believing that STUPID PEOPLE should not be permitted to procreate.
